Development Platforms

The CISIUM development platforms are hardware frameworks with the best solution in the markets for different functionalities. Based on results of previous conducted research, we can offer to our customer a fast answer confident we are giving them the best, the highest performance and quality.

Our development platforms are the foundations that allow CISIUM to be more competitive compared to our competitors in terms of time to market, price, functionality, compatibility, smooth migration to higher performance and availability of many semiconductor manufacturers.

You can consider our development platforms like a complex puzzle of functionalities. Our customers select the pieces and we customize the design to fulfill their requirements. If we don’t have the functionality needed, then we will find out the best option collaborating  with  our pool of associated engineering company.

The development platforms are designed around ARM microcontrollers. This 32 bits architecture is the most used on the market for embedded application, expanding day by day and used by all major semiconductors manufacturers like: NXP, Atmel, Texas Instruments, ST Microelectronics, Samsung, Analog Devices, Toshiba, etc.

The usage of ARM microcontrollers allows CISIUM to choose the best microcontrollers of the market, assuring amazing price, excellent performance, low battery consumption, great compatibility between manufacturers, reutilization of software development tools, smooth migration between platforms and silicon manufacturers, long term availability of semiconductors and a huge development community.

We have two standard development platforms. Each one is intended to cover different applications:

Operation Systems

The key part for our development platforms are our expertise and experience in the integration and utilization of a full reach operation systems. We believe that the age of naked microcontrollers running the customer applications without operation systems is something of the past, highly emphasized by the fact of cost down of the ARM architecture (32 bits) and the general requirements for much functionality in the system.

We use Linux as our main operation system; our expertise on it allows us to keep in a strong position regarding our competitors in terms of time to market, price since it is free, extensive set of functionalities, high software quality thanks to the extensive community and user friendly.

We understand that Linux is too big for very deep embedded applications, so in that cases we use a very light Real Time Operation System (RTOS) provided by the Open Source community. We use the best alternative in the market under the free royalties’ license for embedded applications, with a high quality code and much functionality.

We are very confident that giving to our valuable customer a best in class operation system for their applications, the satisfaction will be complete in terms of quality, response time, real time if required, and price.

Peripherals

If we see CISIUM development platforms as the heart of the finish product solution, and the operation system the brain, the peripherals are the extremities of the system, which allow interaction with the world. We provide to our customers an extensive list of available peripherals using the best in class hardware and software to maximum satisfaction.

We have three categories of peripherals, related to the wired communications, for wireless communications and for video.
